It's like watching two alcoholics try to knock each other out using only Hulk Hands.

This is literally the most American naval battle I could ever imagine.
They took the shit they had laying around and started raising hell with it. So American.

"So how'd you get tinnitus?"
"I sat in a metal box and got shot at by cannons for hours."

All hail the battle-cheese!

When looking at the designs of both Monitor and Virginia it's important to remember that breaking the blockade was not the only useful thing a shallow-draft ironclad could do in that area. Both Richmond and Washington DC sit on tributaries to the enormous Chesapeake Bay, which despite the name is an estuary with an average depth of just over 20 feet. So neither Monitor nor Virginia needed to dare even the Atlantic coast to raise absolute havoc; just gaining command of the Chesapeake would allow either side to maneuver near the other's capital with impunity.

24:23 so they were literally 360 no-scoping the Virginia

My favorite description of the start of the battle is as follows: “The Monitor sailed towards the Virginia, looking every bit like a small dog rushing to protect a tall stag from a lumbering bear.”

5:30 I'd be pretty salty if someone burned my top.half too

Virginia: less agile then a random glacier
Also Virginia: "Dear Rose, our captain ordered us to turn the ship around and back to port, with some luck ill see you at Christmas, 2 years from now. With all my heart, your beloved sailor"

You thought it was Merrimac, but it was I, Virginia!

USS Monitor: the deadliest merry-go-round in history.

When you said, "The Congress was ineffective", for a moment I thought you were making commentary on our government. I soon realized you were talking about a ship.

that turret sounds like the most frustrating thing to operate in even the best conditions

After hearing about the rotation in use, I want to see the turret painted as a merry go round and sent to battle.

I never realised this was only about 40 years before HMS Dreadnought was launched!

"USS Galena - Possibly the single worst ironclad in history" - I am glad this already has a follow up episode, since this totally has me sold on finding out what went wrong

Upvoted for spinning seal... and the usual outstanding quality.
855 |
Beware the harbor seal! It keeps going 'round and 'round!
Wait...are you implying the Monitor was adorable?

Ages ago I read a first hand account of a sailor abourd Virginia who claimed the gunnery officer yelled in frustration on no dammage done, "DAMN! I'D DO MORE DAMMAGE IF I SNAPPED MY FINGERS EVERY 2 MINUTES!"
